Years of Experience before becoming an Auditor

Hi There –

I am curious, how many years of coding experience did you have before becoming an Auditor and passing the CPMA exam? I am currently a Coder and want to take the exam, however, I was wondering if it is possible to shadow someone already in the profession to see what a typical day looks like. I hear there is absolutely no coding involved. I don’t know if that is possible or not to shadow someone, but will look into it. :)
